Star Trek: Red Alert Slot machine review

Star Trek – Red Alert

Star Trek – Red Alert is a game designed by wms that offers a combination of 5 reels & 25 lines. Besides a theme that will resonate with a lot of fans of the series you will find here wild symbols, multipliers, scatter symbols and free games. As for the top jackpot, the most you can hope to win here is $5,000.

The theme is based on the original series of Star Trek, hugely popular back then and with memorable characters like Spock, Captain Kirk or Dr. McCoy. The design resembles that of the original series as well, meaning that it’s not going to be the best looking science fiction design but if you’re a fan of these characters and series you will probably not care. The retro looking graphics are not present just on the symbols but also in the surrounding images. The reels are transparent and with an image with the stars behind them. At the top of the screen you will see your progress in the game and how close you are to advancing to the next episode of the series (there are multiple titles based on Star Trek and each one with its own story). The symbols used in this episode are the Starfleet insignias, Captain Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy, the evil guy, a Klingon bird of prey, a communicator, a medical tricorder, a phaser pistol and a Feature icon.

The lines are all selected when you’re placing your bet and on top of that there is a feature bet that takes the wager to 35 coins. Wagers start at $0.35 and go up to $105 for the largest possible amount. The prizes can give the player up to 1000 coins with cash values of up to $5,000.

The logo of Star Trek acts in this case as a wild and it can take the place of various other icons. It’s a standard feature that doesn’t offer anything special to the player. It doesn’t have any multipliers but it’s still something extra in the player’s favor and it’s a welcomed addition to the feature lineup.

The Feature symbol is the other big addition to this game. With three to five symbols the player gets the Red Alert Feature started and with four or five symbols he also gets a prize. The medals required to advance to the next episode are gathered by triggering this feature.

A great Slot for geeks and fans of the Star Trek series, so I will definitely recommend it. It manages to get some of the appeal of the series on the screen and keeps the same kind of retro look as the show.
